Watermelon Detox Water - give a healthy twist to your regular drinking water with fresh watermelon, lemon, mint, and some ginger. A great summer cooling drink to beat the heat.
Have you ever made fruit infused water?
If not then you should try this refreshing detox water that is not just cooling but also loaded with nutrients.
I never thought of adding fruits (except for lemon and limes) into the water until a couple years back when I tried orange infused water in our University dining and absolutely fell in love with it. Since then I started making nutrient water at home more often.
I know it is not just me, people also love infused-water.
Proof?
This May I had shared fresh strawberry detox water which has got more than 65k shares on social media. When I shared this recipe I never thought it would receive so much love. I was really feeling reluctant before sharing the recipe thinking who would even be interested in this simple recipe. But I was proved wrong. Sometimes simple and healthy recipes can get more love than you'd expect.
